This past Saturday another amazing contest went down to say the least. Huge thanks to the sponsors: Casualty, Filthy Laundry, Aggressive Mall, and Just Show Love; as well as everyone who helped me run the comp throughout the day.

Taylor Greene took the win by killing every spot and lacing numerous tricks on the drop rail including a 270 b/s torque and backslide to alley-opp top acid.

For the best gaps at Madison Park High School we had a 3-way tie between:
Kyle Couture – fakie 720 over the stair set
Jimmy Gill – med spin 540 over the four block
Yohan Torres – misty flip over the four block

A great deal of incredible skating happened however there were several casualties throughout the day: Sean Money dislocated locatedhis shoulder at the first spot, which was pretty scary to see. Matt Heller did a huge straight air gap over the blue rails and slid on his face (He probably got a concussion but stuck around for the rest of comp). Brandon Cummings tried full cab alley-oop top soul resulting in a dislocated finger (he popped it back into place after a few attempts and kept skating his heat), and Benny Stout fell back hitting his head on the sidewalk really hard however got back up for more. You guys are entirely way too gangsta. It was definitely a battle between the best skaters in New England.
Thanks to everyone who came out – shred till your dead -gh
